Talcum Powder Case Review

As of May 2025, Johnson & Johnson faces over 58,643 active lawsuits consolidated under MDL 2738 in New Jersey federal court. These lawsuits allege that long-term use of talc-based products like Johnson’s Baby Powder and Shower to Shower caused ovarian cancer or mesothelioma due to asbestos contamination.

J&J’s attempts to settle via bankruptcy were rejected three times, most recently in March 2025, with the court citing a lack of financial distress and issues with claim voting procedures. The litigation continues in the tort system under U.S. District Judge Michael A. Shipp.
